Stross delves into a possible future where 3D printers become commonplace - and explores the problems that could result.
What? You weren't able to attend the London Design Festival this year and missed out seeing Murray Moss's "Industrial Revolution 2.0" display? Well, now you can, because this exhibition has been held over at London's Victoria and Albert Museum. Instead of ending now, it's been extended until early November.
Industrial Revolution 2.0 is the name of a special event taking place at this year's London Design Festival. This event is located at the Victoria and Albert Museum, as are some of the other events. It turns out that most of the items on display at Industrial Revolution 2.0 are 3D printed by 3D print service Materialise. According to the Festival: Renowned New York-based design gallerist and curator Murray Moss will collaborate with industry leader Materialise, Belgium to create this special exhibition which pushes the parameters of 21st century 3D 'printing'. A series of unique 'printed' works, using cutting edge laser and digital technologies to build three-dimensional objects, are placed throughout the Museum's most important galleries, wittily referencing eight of the Museum's key pieces and spaces.
focuses on how context influences the expression of each person’s potential, and how technology can redefine this by challenging geographical limits, recognising the value of personal initiative and do-it-yourself skills, and distributing knowledge. Somajni will also address the issue of how technology allows creating a network of communication involving a large number of people, spreading and sharing information, and learning with others through action and practice.
Roberto Casati (philosopher and researcher at CNRS and at the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris), Massimo Banzi (interaction design consultant and teacher, who created Arduino, a successful open source hardware project), and Mark Grimes (father of the online co-working space ned.com and NedSpace and among the creators of the Maker Faire Africa Fair).
